“I highly recommend Carmen. She came to walk our puppy Larry. She came over to meet him and get an understanding of his needs. She sent updates, photos, and feedback. Shes communicative and friendly. I’d hire her again.”
About: I have experience with pet sitting for friends and neighbors over the past year along with having had all different breeds of dogs growing up and enjoy their company. I love to go for walks, hikes, the beach and would love to take your dog with me. I've had to give senior dogs medication and look after them. I know how hard it is to trust someone to watch your fur baby when your away and I'm that person and I will treat them like royalty. I am home everyday at 12:00. My husband works from home so one of us is always home with your dog. I am ready when I get home to take your dog with me on a walk or hike. Your dog will have access to a dog run area all day long and a large backyard when we are home. I have a house with a large fenced in yard and your dog will have complete access to outside at all times. At this time I don't have a dog of my own, so there will be no conflict between dogs. I want your dog to feel at home as much possible.
About: Lifelong dog fan. I have always been the dog-sitter for coworkers and friends. When it comes to my family’s pets, I am the one who will walk and bathe the dogs. I've volunteered for a dog rescue project where I cared for a broad range of dogs. Big, small, young, old, nervous, or mellow - I have seen them all! I love obedience training and teaching dogs new tricks. I work part-time, so my availability varies.
About: I've taken various cats for the past 6 years. I have 3 cats at home and I've also taken care of my friends' doggo during their work trips. I have experience bathing cats too. I have full time job but as a cat mom I understand drop-in food visits are essential and I can make my time for those. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding instructions, household routines, and any special care guidelines you provide. I understand that some cats need extra patience, especially when meeting someone new. I’ll always respect their boundaries and let them approach me at their own pace. I’ll also make sure doors and windows are secure, litter boxes are clean, and your home is left tidy after each visit.
“Despite me making an appointment with very short notice, Mamoo was super responsive and suggested doing a meet & greet the same night I made the booking, to be ready for the walk the next morning. When they met, my dog, Hanoi, was pretty nervous, barking defensively for some reason, but Mamoo handled it to perfection, allowing Hanoi to control the interaction, without Mamoo losing the role of authority. Thanks for your dedication to making it work, even when Hanoi didn’t make it easy. 100% recommend.”
About: I have plenty of personal experience in caring for animals, growing up with pets my entire life as well as currently having a dog of my own. Ive always had a deep love and interest in learning about and caring for animals. Ive pet sat for family/friends and have experience with other species such as rodents and reptiles. I have a great passion for working with animals and would love the opportunity to pet sit or dog walk for you! I work a part time job but I do have a flexible schedule and can always work with whatever dates or times you would need! At your home I would spend time with your pet, keeping them busy with any activity that suits their personality best whether it be laying down getting pets, playing with enrichment toys, going for a walk or playing fetch! My home would be a very similar experience, I live in a safe neighborhood for walks, and also have a fenced yard.
About: I have had dogs all my life! I pet sat for puppies, senior dogs, large dogs (80+ pounds), and tiny chihuahuas. I have also worked with anxious-aggressive dogs and can work with you to get your pet care. I currently have a very open schedule as I am working flexible online hours. I can work according to your preferences and I’m good at going with the flow. I want to make sure both you and your pet feel safe. Pets are family and I want you to know they are in good hands! I can make sure your pet care is to your standards. I also always send pictures!
“Rachel is a great walker. She has been walking our 2 10 month old GSC pups for about 6 months every day now and has been aiding in training during walks. We definitely reccomend Rachel for her above and beyond efforts, dependability, and character! Keep up the great work and thank you for everything your doing!”
About: I understand the various and complex needs of dogs of different breeds, ages, sizes, and reactivity. As someone with a high energy large breed dog I have specific experience with dogs that need a little more to get their energy out. I am confident that I will be more than able to get your pup that care that it needs to be happy and healthy. I am a college student that is currently home for the summer. I have open availability and should be able to accommodate almost any busy schedule so your pet can get the care it requires. Your dogs safety is my number one priority. I would love to hear any specific needs that your pet may have and will do everything in my power to accommodate them. I have experience with very large/strong dogs as well as reactive or high energy pups. My goal is to create a walk that meets the specific requirements of your dog and ensures that they are safe and comfortable.
“Marley has been so great to work with! She is fantastic as both a walker and sitter for our dog and has been super accommodating of changes as we dealt with some personal chaos. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any dog owner.”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I currently check on and feed a family friends dogs on the weekends when needed, I always leave the space how I found it and make sure the dogs have enough water and haven't gotten into anything they are not supposed to, I have experience with difficult dogs and have been researching dog behavior and training these past 3 years. I take every job I'm given very seriously and I am dedicated to the safety and well being of any animal I am responsible for, and I am more than willing to follow any special instructions in regards to your animal. every dog is different and I aim to give the best care to every dog put in my care. I am open to caring for dogs that need extra special care and attention such as reactivity or anxiety, or likely to run away if given the chance. I look forward helping out with your animals in whatever way I can. I work 2 days a week, and go to school 3 days a week, but I have lots of downtime on the weekends and evenings during the week when caring for animals in your home I will always double check that doors are closed and lights are off/on, and leave everything the way it was when I got there, as well as making sure your dog hasn't gotten into anything.
About: We are an animal loving family and will treat your pup as our own when they come to stay with us.

Our sweet Springer spaniel Chester loves having a buddy to play with. My daughter is a huge animal lover and has a great experience walking multiple dogs. I have been dog owner (from small breeds to large) for several years and absolutely adored every moment with them. We treat dogs as a family members, they are allowed on the furniture and can lounge and sleep wherever they feel comfortable. Our house is located in Live Oak with a walking distance to the Harbor, Arana Gulch and Chanticleer dog park. We have a fenced in backyard to play around in. I am an active person so you can be assured your pup will be well taken care of for exercises. We love dogs dearly and love to spoil them! I will take great care of your dog while you are away and look forward to hearing from you.
“We have loved Emily, she is responsive, always on time and takes our little guy for great walks, he comes home ready to rest. She is professional, kind and reliable. Highly recommend”
About: I have taken care of pets for quite some time. I grew up on a farm, so I have been around all sorts of animals all my life. I recently moved back here to the valley from Santa Cruz. Will be here for a year or so. When I was in Santa Cruz I volunteer for the animal shelter there. I recently moved here from Santa Cruz, and will be starting work at the school in the fall, so I am looking to do some pet sitting, and dog walking, during the summer. I have a fenced yard, but I am not doing pet care at my home at this time. I am sharing home with family members
About: I've cared for pets since I was 12. Growing up in a family with so many different critters has given me such a deep connection to caring for animals. I've cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, ferrets, and other rodents. I feel extremely confident in my animal care skills. I am currently not in school. I'll have a part-time job, so I will have plenty of time for pet care. Spending time with animals brings me so much joy! I am a very responsible individual. When in a client's home, I will respect it like my own. Getting to know how and what I need to do is very important to me and will be followed through.

Maria Jose was amazing! She was very flexible as we faced some complications on our itinerary and she handled everything with professionalism. Cookie immediately warmed up to her. Maria Jose has a very friendly personality and communicated with us very well throughout the day. Highly recommend!
Sharon was quickly responsive to my request and was very communicative. Sharon was thoughtful and mindful of Midnight’s needs. Sharon asked questions and followed through with all instructions. Midnight looked very happy in the photos Sharon sent. I recommend her and will request her care again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Olympia is $16 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Olympia. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Olympia after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Olympia. On Rover:
- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
